#FF Feature & Follow: Disappointments & surprises

Feature & Followis a weekly blog hop, hosted by Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. The purpose of this is to eventually gain more followers, but to also meet your fellow bloggers and to have fun. This week, however, I've been chosen as a featured blogger! Honestly, I feel like I cannot put my happiness into words. Just, thank you.

Have you ever read a book you thought you'd hate but loved? Or vice versa?
- Suggested by A Great Read I have so many books that turned out to be huge disappointments for me. Allegiant by Veronica Roth tops my list, but also Summer & The City by Candace Bushnell after loving the first installment, The Carrie Diaries. Other books on that same list are All Fall Down by Ally Carter, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Panic by Lauren Oliver and Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas.

Fortunately, my reading life doesn't only exist of bad books and disappointments. There were moments when I really wasn't in the mood to read a particular book, and I just forced myself into reading it. Books like The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma and The Luthier's Apprentice by Mayra Calvani surprised me in a very good way. Also, after reading Shatter Me, I hadn't expected anything good of the sequel, Unravel Me. In the end, it turned out to be amazing and was my absolute surprise of 2013.

Preferably both, but choose as you like.I don't have a comment section, but I'll follow back as soon as I see it!
